If you're not aware of my account on Bluesky @readwriterev.bsky.social, I'm using fiction to discuss American politics via allegory and fiction. In this case, channeling Orwell.

The first episode of Ashes to Dust is out! In this epic retelling of Cinderella, our heroine doesn't need a fairy godmother or a charming prince. She takes matters into her own hands, and it goes dark, erotic and deadly. #booksy 📚🌶️

Gulliver's Travels: The Broligarchy is back today at 4pmEST.
This darkly funny political satire takes an absurdist view of a future technofascist state. Put Idiocracy and 1984 together, and this is what you get.

I took my two #novels off of #Amazon last night. I know that's a drop in the bucket of protest, and I'm not losing out on the nothing royalties I was already not getting, but every little bit counts. I canceled my account back in June, and this was the next logical step.
No thanks.
